Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

little worried about my gators at kentucky this week.

a classic road trap game between two anticipated games, Tennessee and LSU

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Why thank you, Kevin! :r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

WOOOO GO (ice)HOG(3)s !!!! WOOO.

Can't wait for the game this weekend. Anyone got a Ark vs UA score prediction?

And I also have to ask... does anyone know what the ruling was on the player that was ejected in the ark game last week? is he playing this week?

Roll Tide!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

How about those Gamecocks?



:D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Great win, Joey. :tu

See you November 14th. ;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Indeed Joey, I was going to call you if you all lost...but I was rooting for you, I wanted Ole Miss to bite their tongue =D

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Congrats, Joey! Great win for the 'Cocks & SS!:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Congratulations to all my podnas' from the Low Country and the high country
on their major league embarassment of those rebels south of the border.
I am no Ole' Miss Fan, nor no UMemphis fan, but it still gets under my skin
when rebel fans call UMemphis "Tiger High" It's a kind of arrogance which
when mixed with the already standing perception of racism that I associate
with the Ole' Money crew there, makes for a real deep dislike for Ole Miss. Plus I am for LSU. :)
When I got up this morning and put out the trash and started up the truck,
I heard the radio sports jocks talking as if Miss had lost. I was giddy. It
really makes my season. Peripherally, I was happy for them being ranked so
high, it brings respect to the league and to the area. Mississippi is a nice
place, too. Very well insulated from over-development. I lived more than
half my life there, too.

But before I ramble,
"Go to Hell, Ole' Miss", GEAUX TIGERS !

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Thank you for including me this week, I know
it is hard to call LSU-MISS St. 'notable', lol.
I look for the Hogs to test Bama but lose.
I look for Florida to escape Kentucky by ten.
Tigers win by 35
And well, would you looka there....Ole Miss goes DOWN, lol.

A moment of silence please. Houston Nutt is a classic case of a coach who
regularly outhinks himself. When you have the weapons Ole Miss has, you RUN
until SC shows they can stop it, THEN you mix run and pass to keep
them on their heels. Or, you could no what Nutt did and waste some of the
finest players in the SEC. McCluster only gets used on third downs? Are
you kidding me?

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I think what he meant was "Don't do WELL, Ole'Miss!
That's what they yell.
I have never yelled it because I have never been to a
LSU-MISS game. So what do I know, lol.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Ole Miss was horribly overrated (not their fault necessarily), they should have been somewhere around 8-15, not #4. It was a fun game to watch, I don't mind seeing Nutt lose, I do wish Snead had played a bit better though

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Yep, he's playing.

Tough one for me to call a score on, but I'm thinking around 34-24, Bama.
:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Personally, I think 8-15 would have been kinda high. And that was just an awful game last night. It was like watching a couple of cripples fight, no disrepect to any of our crippled brothers intended. South Carolina looks to me to be another awful South Carolina team, sorry Joey, and Ole Miss looked like a team that had not been tested at all and had no clue what they were doing. Just a really poorly played game from both sides.

One thing for sure, Houston Dale is still crazier than a sack of weasels...

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I love my Rebels, but they were waaaaay over rated. That ranking was entirely based on how they ended last year, they had easy games at the start of the season, and that several teams ahead of them lost games early. Typical Ole Miss team with a bunch of hype.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Being that their 10 point win over TN is viewed as a major let down I don't think this one really is a trap game. IMO they'll take some anger out on an improved Kentucky team this year. Only way I see it being close is if the flu is really hitting FL as bad as some are saying.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

FYI for anyone else going to the Bama vs Arkansas game tomorrow. One of the major parking spots on campus is closed due to the rain (grass lot). I'd recommend getting there earlier than normal or be prepared to walk a long way.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

ummmm.....Ark vs Bama??

I'm going 32-17 Bama

Arkansas' offense has looked good but they haven't faced a defense anywhere near as high a caliber as Bama's. The Tide are gonna COME AFTER Mallet :dr

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

:r:r very true :r:r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Tebow's Mortality Revealed just knock him into one of his own players

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Amazing day of college football, 3 top 10 teams go down (4 if you count ole miss thursday night). Didn't get to watch any other games due to being at the Bama game but I'm looking forward to watching em on the DVR all day :). LSU could actually move to number 4 after barely getting by Miss St. This is gonna be a crazy year!

To the Florida Fans, I hope Tebow is doing better. Always hate to see something like that happen to anyone.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

My Bulldogs pulled another one out of their posterior last night.:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

:tu Whether You Like Florida or not, No one wants to see a player hurt, much less a star like Tebow. Hope He's OK.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

And I do hate em. But obviously I hope Tebow is ok.:)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Tebow was released fromt he hospital this morning, good news.:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Not so Fast my friend! South Carolina is going to play Bama tough. And Bama still has to play a fired up Ole Miss team. I think 90% of people would say that the thursday night game was not "poorly played on both sides of the ball" Alabamas offense isn't as good as everyone thinks. They won't see speed like South Carolina has..Oh and by the way Who has bama played besides Va Tech. South Carolina has two ranked opponents. Played a very tough Georgia Team down to the wire.

The difference in the South Carolina vs. Bama game will be Special Teams and I think South Carolina has the edge

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Better wait and see if his team loses a game before we call him "mortal". ;) :r

thought i'd put up this pic of me and my boys running into phil fulmer outside the Georgia Dome last year before the SEC championship game!

thats me w/the glasses on phil's left

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Dude!!!! The only thing I would do with that picture is spit on it!!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Man that's just mean. I'm not into guys but Michael isn't THAT bad looking!





:r

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I DO!! But I am a crass A$$.
OK, I didn't want to see him hurt per se'...I wanted to see him hurt
bad enough that the heavens would open up, a light beam would focus on him and he would pop up.
Better yet, a long-haired guy in sandals, a dove on his shoulder and a "Florida training staff" shirt trots
out and gives him a sip off of a special water bottle and he pops up.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

You got that close and you didn't KILL HIM? I 'm sorry, but that's just weak!

;)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

:r

fat phil was very nice to let us take our picture w/em so i took it easy on him. plus the gators have been owning UT lately so i didn't feel the need to be hostile. also notice he has no tennessee orange on: thats cause he was fired a couple weeks before the game

ps - if it would have been bobby bowden.....no mercy!!!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

HAHA, did you see the new allstate commercial with the two tailgaters with
the lifesize Bobby Bowden Grill? The smoke comes out of the ears.

I actually have no Fulmer-related animosities. He was no problem for me
as an outsider in TN, and I am not so sure he was the problem at UT.
(cough) Crompton (cough)

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Thats a great commercial lol!

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

If by "special" you mean "crack" then I think you're right.:r

Seriously Davenport? I understand and appreciate the pride but what you see from Bama is not smoke and mirrors. What you see is what you get. And what y'all are gonna get when we tee it up.
:ss

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

I think Bama is a really good team. Don't get me wrong, but they are going to face two really tough road games before SC comes to town. Ole Miss knows that their only shot and winning the West they need to beat Bama. I don't think Jevan Sneed is going to have two bad games like that in a row, I think Ole Miss will be better prepared, and more focused for this show down.

I am also not really sold on Bamas offense. They are above average yes, but they aren't as dominant in the run game as they have in the past. Plus they will play a tough defense in Ole Miss. Besides UF, I would have to say SCAR has one of the fastest defenses in the SEC. If they can play opportunistic defense, and create some turnovers and pressure the QB. It will be a battle.

Bamas Defense is solid for sure. but They have some depth questions, and I think your going to see South Carolina keep an uptempo very balanced attack. Garcia will be dangerous against them because of his escapeability. Also look for mismatches in size on the outside with Gurly, and Saunders.

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

TOTAL YARDS THROUGH FOUR GAMES:

............2008.....2009
Passing: 603......1028
Rushing: 947......937

I will agree that looks can be deceiving, but actually our rushing output is almost identical to last year at this point. It's just not as easy to do after losing Smith and Caldwell to the draft. But there might be a slight difference in passing yardage, not sure.:) McElroy is ranked third in the nation in pass efficiency after 4 games.

Defensively...not much to say there. Mallet went from being ranked #1 to #30 after he faced us. Ranked #2 nationally in Total Defense. Quite honestly I'm not worried about Garcia. Heck, Spurrier might have him benched by the time our game rolls around.

Either way, I look forward to the game, as I do all SEC games. You know what they say about any given Saturday.
:tu

Re: Official SEC Football Thread 2009
 

Unlike the past few years Bama actually has a very deep defense this year. We have backup linebackers and defensive lineman that would start at a lot of SEC schools this year. Losing Donta Hightower (our most versatile defense player) will hurt, but we have people available to step in. Its also more than solid, Its IMO the best in the country so far this year (currently ranked 2nd in total defense), if not the best then top 3 for sure. Ryan Mallet had over 400 yards passing against Georgia (Garcia had 313 against the same GA team) and we held him to 160 yards passing (while only giving up 63 total on the ground).

As far as the offense go, I've heard several national sports commentators call us the most balanced offense in the country so far this year (I'm not sure I agree, but we are up there). Greg McElroy is the 3rd most efficient QB in the nation so far. He is also doing it by involving multiple people. Last year we threw to 2 or 3 people only, this year we'll have 10 people involved in the passing game each year. With the running game we have 3 top notch backs in Ingram, Upchurch and Trent Richardson. Our 4th string back, Terry Grant, was our starting back a few years ago. The Oline has performed good up to this point as well. We are 10th in the country in rushing offense and 8th in total offense. Now we've had 2 easy cupcake games (as have most teams) but we've also played a top 10 team also unlike any of the offenses ranked ahead of us.

I am glad to see SC doing good this year (have a couple of friends that went there). They have a good pass rush and Spurrier will use the fact that we scheduled them for homecoming to get his players fired up. Anything CAN happen but Bama SHOULD win the game without too much trouble and I'd expect us to be 14pt or so favorites going in (I expect a bit closer game though, maybe pulling away late). You guys should be 5-1 coming in to Tuscaloosa though and I expect for you guys to be ranked by then so it should be a big game. If it wasn't for Oklahoma vs Texas being that same week it would even have a shot at ESPN Game Day.
